There are bundled fonts from "fonts-liberation" and "fonts-freefont-ttf".

However source of one font file is unclear:

	RAW_VFS_DATA/FONT/Ubuntu-B.ttf

The problem is that some files are sourceless, right?

Meanwhile I wanted to see this game in action so I committed initial packaging 
to

	http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-games/astromenace.git

I'm leaving it there so please feel free to take over the packaging if you 
have time.
